create-actions.js dynamically remove option from dropdown

Francesca Shiekh
In sugarCRM 7.2.0 I have a dropdown with legacy items in it. The display values for those items include the text "(legacy)" . I don't want those legacy items to display when creating a new record, they should however display in record view.

In 6.5.15 I would unset those legacy items in the app list strings array during in the pre display on view.edit.php for new records.

In 7.2.0 I am trying to reproduce that functionality in create-actions.js

console.log() is my new best friend and I know I'm getting to the items I want to remove by looping through the app list strings and using javascript match (see hideLegacyValues below).

I just don't know how to unset the options that i want to hide...

It seems that $('[data-name="territory_classification_c"]').options is undefined.
and there are actually no "options" as such in the source code.

Any clues as to the proper way to manipulate dropdown values in code?

Thanks,
FrancescaS

      this.hideLegacyValues();

   hideLegacyValues: function(){
     // hide legacy items from territory classification
     var territory_list = app.lang.getAppListStrings('territory_classification_list_DD');
     Object.keys(territory_list).forEach(function(key) {
        var check = territory_list[key].match(/legacy/);
        if(territory_list[key].match(/legacy/)){
           //the line below gives an ERROR
           $('[data-name="territory_classification_c"]').options[territory_list[key]].remove();
        }
     });

    territory_list now has only the values I want.
    Now to figure out how to update the AppListStrings.
    There is a getAppListStrings but not a setAppListStrings

            
       hideLegacyValues: function(){
         // hide legacy items from territory classification
         var territory_list = app.lang.getAppListStrings('territory_classification_list_DD');
         console.log(territory_list);
         Object.keys(territory_list).forEach(function(key) {
            var check = territory_list[key].match(/legacy/);
            if(territory_list[key].match(/legacy/)){
               delete territory_list[key];
            }
         });
         console.log(territory_list);
       },
